Game is much more difficult now IMO.

Got beaten 3 x in a row on hardest easily, I'd usually win at least 2 of them minimum.

Marking is a lot more difficult, I think is a good thing.

Spoiling needs to be used more now.

Handballs and tackles still seemed fine to me.

I noticed a lot of dropped / fumbled marks which was nice.

Still trying to master the goal kicking metre.

Main negative Is I found the AI didn't miss any shots again. Even in pouring rain and high wind.

I also noticed in my first game the scoreboard HUD was turned off by default which was odd.

Also, when you go into online quick play there is a message saying crossplay can be enabled in settings menu, which Is there.

I'm unsure if the feature Is live or not though. Feels like it would have been mentioned in the notes?

Should never have been able to clunk marks when out of position like you could pre patch that being more balanced should have happened 2 months ago even if it frustrates the more casual consumer.
 
Yep! Sony obviously do not review what they allow to release on their store otherwise why else would they allow a bug ridden game to be released like it was?

Well considering Ross himself said that you do not need to pay for packs if you don't want to it may not be a profit earner for them.

The issues that still persist with online still gives no hope that Proteam will be released soon. It's ridiculous
You wont have to pay but to actually have the top players it will be a cash sink, anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional this game is a business at the end of the day, a portion goes to the players involved but BA are still going to reel the money in off that provided its actually functional, which I dont see how it could be in the current climate.
 
Is it still weekly updates for PS5 or can we expect this new patch a lot sooner?

It hasn’t been weekly since the 2nd week of May 😱 but hopefully we get this patch by tomorrow morning. We just went a little over 3 weeks between the last 2 patches.
 
Mucked around a bit more....

Newcombe kicks one of the all time greatest goals on the run



AI opposition gets hit by an invisible wall (or a stutter) :p


Still able to launch a big bomb while being tackled. I remember when they first put this in the game and it was possible to still kick goals from beyond the 50m while getting tackled to the ground. Not surprised by the power of the kick in this instance but the accuracy!

 
Do players still stop when receiving handballs and then get stuck in the mud ?

YES

While I never thought it would disappear, it wasn't very noticeable to me in the few games I played last night. Until one big instance where I was stuck for a few seconds :(, that was a buzzkill.

Obviously Hawks game was played during COVID?

I wish there was more of the scrubbed kick that we saw in the first or second patch...
But maybe like, if you're
- tackled early in the kicking animation - drop the ball / spill out / sometimes holding the ball
- tackled mid way in the kicking animation - scrubbed kick, likely inaccurate
- tackled late in the kicking animation - longer kick, likely accurate but occasionally inaccurate / less distance

All of these slightly adjusted for difficulty level, player skill attributes, weather conditions etc.
 
I found the difficulty interesting in that in one game (2.5 minute quarters as well), I dominated the first quarter 4.1 to 0.1
However the second quarter was a disaster on both sides, I failed to score.... but the AI only scored 1.0. Third quarter was even with 3 goals each. But the final quarter, was similar to the first, I kicked 4 goals to just 1 goal for them. I also noticed as time went on, marks were being fumbled more and more (probably programmed with the fatigue system ?) - particularly in the second and fourth quarters.

Why can’t you play as custom teams in custom online match. Also me and a mate tried to play just then, had 5 or 6 goes at it and all it said was “we lost connection to the host” when trying to load into a game. Not happy
 
Just played first game in weeks with the new Steam patch on 'hard'. Still so many broken things but the most frustrating to me is ghosting through players when attempting to tackle and they kick a goal unimpeded.

I clearly don't get the new shot meter either as every set shot 40m or more was out on the full. CPU didn't miss at goal.

50m set shot goal


Ball rotates oddly while curving into the goal


Another 50m set shot goal


Strategic ruck tap, leads to a goal


A Joe Daniher special :p


This was more unfair in real life play compared to the slowed down replay. The AI just zooms away to an open goal :(


Other random things I've spotted but been unable to record:

AI teammates + opponents occasionally forming a rugby style line running toward a particular destination (have seen it in general play, but mostly when taking set shots at goal).

Handballs being done in a triangular pattern

Lots more mark fumbles (including when doing speccies).

you did good here.

Eh I'm just posting random stuff, some good, some not so good. Still playing the game, loving the awesome moments.... hating the glitches yet I keep persisting.

I played a game earlier (not the same as the Hawks v Lions from the videos) 5 minute quarters, Brisbane the home team, Hawthorn away. Brisbane shot off to a 4 goal lead pretty quickly and I found it very hard to get it down to my end and score. The times I was able to, were touched over the line or I just stuffed up the accuracy.

Then out of nowhere it's like the Brisbane AI went home, I kicked a few quick goals to make the margin smaller at the end of the first quarter. Then shot off to a 24 point lead of my own in the first half of the second quarter. Brisbane got 2 goals back (both from stupid 50m penalties against me) and I thought they were going to go on a run themselves.... luckily my defence held up with every forward entry they attempted. So I kicked 8 goals compared to their 3. Third quarter was not eventful, I kicked 3 goals to their 2..... but I added a lot more behinds. Fourth quarter was another mini demolition - kicked 6.2 to their 1.1.

I'm tempted to try another Hawthorn v Geelong 20 minute quarter slugfest (wanting to see if I can get up to 2000 points with the updated difficulty setting :p). Multi-tasking with some movies and playing Elden Ring on pc.
